elongated lower peduncles from the axils of upper leaves; calyx-tube 

 narrowly obconic, covered with long white hairs, the lobes long, 

 slender, acuminate, laciniately glandular-serrate, glabrous on the 

 outer surface, villose on the inner surface, reflexed after anthesis; 

 stamens 8-12; anthers faintly tinged with pink; styles 3-5. Fruit 

 ripening and falling early in October, on short stout drooping slightly 

 hairy pedicels, in 4-12-fruited clusters, short-obovate, full and 

 rounded at the apex, bright orange-red marked by small pale dots, 

 puberulous at the ends, 1.8-2.5 cm. in diameter; calyx little enlarged^ 

 with a deep narrow cavity wide and tomentose in the bottom, and small 

 spreading lobes dark red on the upper side below the middle, their 

 tips often deciduous from the ripe fruit; flesh thick, orange-yellow, 

 somewhat acidulous, fragrant, edible, sometimes made into jelly; 

 nutlets 3-5, rounded at the apex, acute at the base, rounded and 

 slightly grooved or ridged on the back, the conspicuous hypostyle 

 extending to the middle of the nutlet, about 8 mm. long and 5 mm, 

 wide. 



A tree sometimes 10 m. high, with a tall trunk often 4 dm. in 

 diameter, covered with dark gray scaly bark, large spreading branches 

 forming a wide symmetrical round-topped head, and stout slightly 

 zigzag branchlets dark orange-green and more or less tinged with red 

 when the}- first appear, becoming dark chestnut brown, marked by 

 large dark lenticels and more or less pubescent in their first season, 

 dark red-brown the following year, and armed with stout straight or 

 slightly curved chestnut brown shining spines 3-4 cm. long.

Specimens of a species in this group collected in the valley of the 

 Conemaugh between Portage and Wilmore, in Cambria. County, by 

 Mr. B. H. Smith, (No. 276) May 21, 1905, and May 17, 1906, is probably 

 C. Ellwangeriana Sargent. The specimens show the peculiar stipules 

 of that species, but without the fruit this determination is only pro- 

 visional, and it has been impossible to obtain fruit from this tree
